Abstract
Let Fk denotes the set of k-free number. For any positive integers l 2, we dene a number set Ak,l as follows Ak,l = {n : n = ml + r, ml n < (m + 1)l , r Fk , n N }. In this paper, we study the arithmetical properties of the number set Ak,l , and give some interesting asymptotic formulae for it.

1. Introduction
Let k 2 be an integer. The k -free numbers set Fk is dened as follows Fk = {n : if prime p|n then pk n, n N }. In problem 31 of [1], Professor F.Smarandache asked us to study the arithmetical properties of the numbers in Fk . About this problem, many authors had studied it, see [2], [3], [4]. For any positive integer n and l 2, there exist an integer m such that ml n (m + 1)l . So we can dene the following number set Ak,l : Ak,l = {n : n = ml + r, ml n < (m + 1)l , r Fk , n N }. In this paper, we use the elementary methods to study the asymptotic properties of the number of integers in Ak,l less than or equal to a xed real number x, and give some interesting asymptotic formulae. That is, we shall prove the following results: Theorem 1. Let k, l 2 be any integers. Then for any real number x > 1, we have the asymptotic formula 1=
nx nAk,l
1 1 1 x + Ok,l x l + k kl , (k )

where (s) denotes the Riemann zeta function and Ok,l means the big Oh constant related to k, l. Theorem 2. Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis, there holds 1=

On the other hand, from (1) we have the estimates 0 x M l < (M + 1)l M l Now combining (2) and (3), we have 1=

This completes the proof of Theorem 1. From the same argue as proving Theorem 1 and Lemma 2, we can get 1= =
